Bread Lounge

I checked the reviews and headed here using Google map, but I was a bit flustered because I couldn't find the entrance at first. Pro tip: there’s a parking lot and outdoor seating located at the back of the building. Once you head in through the back door, you’re greeted by a clean, wooden interior filled with various breads, jams, canned sardines, and olive oils. They have a great selection of fresh bread and pastries on display. Ordered the iced mint lemonade, and unlike other shops, it was served slushie-style with blended mint and ice. It was refreshing! The pastries were also delicious. Can't wait to try their sandwiches on my next visit.

THIS BUSINESS HIDES NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!! First, the pastries in the case were covered with flies. When the staff moved their hands over them, clouds of flies— some fruit flies, some large flies— flew off. It was alarming. Also, everything is overpriced! We paid about $50 for a meal for two— just sandwiches and drinks! It’s a cafe, not a restaurant. There’s no reason the prices should be this high for what you’re getting. The atmosphere was unpleasant for sitting in as well. It’s all concrete and steel inside, so when people move their chairs it gives off an awful screeching sound. It’s also just not inviting or pleasant to stay in for long in my opinion. I’d give this place a pass.

Very cool spot to get breakfast and Lunch. The pastry I got which is called the Kouign Amann was delicious. Definitely a spot to revisit!

My taste buds are still recovering from the symphony of flavors that is the Parisian sandwich. This place has officially earned the title of my favorite sandwich spot in LA. How do you make a perfect sandwich with just a few ingredients? They’ve cracked the code. If you’re a sandwich lover, this place is an absolute must.

Considering where it's at, how the area smells, and man, does it smell. I was surprised to walk into the halls of this establishment. From outside to inside was like the color transition in the wizard of Oz and smell hits you in the face like an intentional foul in baseball. Everything is baked fresh for the most part, breads are too soft to cut at 7am. Sandwich bread first thing in the morning dissolve in your mouth like a fresh bake croissant. So yes, there desserts do stand apart, and the food with fresh baked anything elevates it. And lastly the service was just awesome - so friendly and patient and kind. If anything, it's a little on the pricey side. But what do you expect during these hard times and asking for freshly baked goods. Parking might be a hassle if you come during rush hour. But highly recommend the area
